Ashdown EVOII 300w head, 4x8 cab, 1x15 cab.

It's muthaf**ing loud!

Oooh, get a load of you!

Probably my friend, but I don't want to chance it & get me an Anti Social Behaviour Order slapped on me!

The Ashdown gear is great for me, I went for the compact 'mini' speaker cab range (L18"xW18"xD13"), but they still pack a punch.

I will quote Edward Van Halen on this one:

"An amp only sounds like an amp when it's turned all the way up"

So thats what I do

How loud is loud? I tend to put the volume up enough to let my neighbors next door to me hear it.....they like what I play....(they REALLY need their hearing checked... ), but I tend to not crank it when I am home due to the small room I have my gear in and I really don't need to let the whole world listen to my warm up and exercise routine. It is a matter of respecting others around me. On school nights, I keep it quiet because of the kids in the neighborhood. On the weekends, I will turn it up a little.

I use an acoustic for practice mainly.

I think part of being a decnt musician is knowing when it's too loud, both in a practice, rehearsal & gig situation.

But, like Jimi said "If it's too loud for ya, we can always turn it up"

Or Geezer Butler "We're only in it for the volume"
